I purchased a football break to Real Madrid v Villareal and enjoyed our weekend.The weather was a bit wet and windy but alas it was February after all.Our flights outbound and inbound were adequate and reasonably priced.You aren't in the skies too long which is good.Taxi a little expensive from the airport to our hotel(€30 for a ten minute journey).The hotel had adequate facilities and was clean and pleasant.We were situated about 5-10mins walk away from the stadium which was handy.The game was great and the tour of the stadium at your own leisure was ideal for the Sunday as our match was on the Saturday evening.Souvenir shop a tad expensive with a Ronaldo 7 shirt setting us back €96.The website was considerably cheaper and was £63 for the same thing!! All in all a good weekend and an experience worth taking out if only to say you've stood in that great arena where legends have played.Our only downside being Man.Utd fans was that Ronaldo had been suspended from the previous weeks red card and we didn't get to see our hero play.....cest la vie as they say.Enjoy.....Andy & Kerry,from Wigan.

Tempting to buy from the souvenir shop but if you can be patient.....unlike myself.....then wait until you get home and buy online.Youll need longer than 3 days if you wanna take in the sites of Spain's capital also if your planning to view the city centre.

Excellent service from FootballBreak when organising and booking the trip. Our party was a Stag Do and had a great weekend away. Hotel was great and situated in town centre, ideal for our trip. Hotel clean and tidy. Breakfasts were great and staff very helpful and spoke good English. Would highly recommend. Took the stress and hassle out of our trip using Football break which was ideal when we had such a large group.

Get the metro 3 day pass for 20e. Excellent value for money and can be used on buses too. Be careful of pickpocketers thou. One of our group had a phone taken whilst using it in the street and another nearly had his wallet pickpocketed.

Both my wife and myself thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. I wouldn't recommend the Hotel Derby, on arrival the bar was not open, no tea/coffee facilities in the room and a bit far out of the city for ease of the main attractions. Match and seats faultless, three rows from the pitch, fantastic.Barcelona is a beautiful city and I would recommend the Hop on Hop off tourist bus.

I was a bit dubious about booking this trip as I knew nothing about Football Breaks but I need not have worried. I booked a trip for me (almost 50) and my son (almost 30) as a joint birthday trip to Barcelona to watch the match against Elche. I liked the idea of all parts of the trip being arranged as one but never expected it to be done so well and so efficiently. Prior to the trip I had a few questions and emailed them in. Every time I asked a question I had a reply in under 24 hours. Three weeks before I was emailed the Hotel voucher, Flight vouchers, Boarding passes and some important information about the trip offering advice and a contact number if there were any issues, THERE WERE NOT!! They had even sorted the API for the flights. As for the trip itself everything went smoothly. The Hotel was well located, clean, well equipped and the staff friendly and helpful. They even allowed us to check in 2 hours early after an early flight. The match itself was an experience to remember. I upgraded the tickets to the 2nd level but never expected such seats as we had. Eleven rows back from the side of the pitch right by the dugout. The view was amazing. The whole atmosphere in the stadium was something we will never remember. Barcelona was a stunning city and we had plenty of time to get around the sites. I am all ready looking at other trips using Football Breaks. Madrid or Munich I think!!!

Barcelona is an easy city to get around using the metro but we walked everywhere as we did not want to miss a thing.

The trip was out of this world. From booking it everyone i asked questions to helped me straight away. The stadium and match was fantastic. Without a doubt the best football stadium football has to offer with all the history that goes with it and trophies won and players that play. Madrid was very nice but we spent most of our time at the stadium. The tour was also a highlight.

All id say is visiting the Bernabeu is a must for any football fan. It dont matter if Real Madrid are your team or not this is the place to go for everything you would want from a football trip.
